Getting Involved

During your research, you had the opportunity to learn that there's a lot you can do to protect the environment. This is true not only that for the environment used by freshwater fish but also all of the earth, used by all organisms. Here are some ideas:

Join in a creek or coastal cleanup effort

Talk
with your parents about what your family can do to reduce watershed
pollution — don’t use chemical fertilizers, don’t dump toxics down the
storm drain, bike to school or work, recycle, etc.

Organize
a school cleanup day (pick up litter around the campus), plant a class
garden, create informational posters about watershed protection, and so
on.
